Design visual assets for a print periodical — illustrations, pull quotes, section openers, and other graphic elements.
Create graphics for the Ascension app — thumbnails, featured images, promotional art, and other visual content that lives within the app experience.
Maintain a consistent, compelling visual identity across both print and digital contexts.
As the role matures, take on art direction responsibilities — briefing, reviewing, and guiding the work of freelance graphic designers.
Build and manage a reliable roster of freelance design talent to handle high-volume app asset needs.
Contribute to the evolution of Ascension’s visual brand standards and help champion them across the organization.

Strong portfolio — we care far more about what you’ve made than where you went to school or how long you’ve been doing it.
Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign) and/or Figma.
Sharp eye for typography, composition, and visual hierarchy.
You can see how a strong visual idea gets applied a thousand times without going stale, and you enjoy that puzzle.
Ability to work across both print and digital contexts
Exceptional organizational and time management skills; you’ll be juggling a lot.
Growth mindset around creative direction — you may not have managed freelancers before, but you can already look at a piece of work and articulate what's working, what's not, and what would make it better.
Your passion and pace energize the people around you and raise the standard of whatever team you’re part of.
Deep understanding of and sincere love for the Catholic faith.
Exemplify and live our core values of humility, passion, and integrity.
